Attempts

2015-2018

Consecutive vertical lines are made as straight as is physically possible.With a brush and paint utilizing scale and gravity,with a pen and paper utilizing the shifting movement of a vehicle in motion. Inconsistencies repeated within these straight marks are informed by climbing up and down a ladder,by the stopping and starting of the train.

Disruptions of the continuity of line appear as rhythmic patterns.A portrait of reality. A material exploration of involuntary movement.An exercise on temporality, control and surrender.
